The diagnostic performance of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS), contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT) and contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (CEMRI) was determined in patients with focal liver lesions (FLLs) in a meta-analysis. Meta-Disc version 1.4 was used to describe and calculate sensitivity, specificity, summary receiver operating characteristic (SROC) curves and area under the curve (AUC). In the 25 included studies, the pooled estimate of CEUS studies for sensitivity, specificity and diagnostic odds ratio (DOR) was 87% (95% CI 85-88), 89% (95% CI 87-91) and 78.84 (95% CI 29.40-211.40), respectively. Sensitivity, specificity and DOR were 86% (95% CI 84-88), 82% (95% CI 77-86) and 26.34 (95% CI 8.32-83.39), respectively, for the CECT studies. Sensitivity, specificity and DOR were 85% (95% CI 82-88), 87% (95% CI 83-91) and 48.37 (95% CI 15.87-147.45), respectively, for the CEMRI studies. SROC analysis indicated that the diagnostic value of CEUS for FLLs is not significantly different from that of CECT and CEMRI. |
